Every time Turning (터닝) appears on my feed I have to PHYSICALLY restrain myself to not start it! Like actually put my phone down and take a leap around to calm myself and resist the urges!
Because LOOK AT IT!!!
And the problem is not that it will emotionally ruin me, it will become a terrible hyperfixation, it will suck my soul dry out of any happines but also make me dependant on it like a drug to feel genuine joy, or that the manhwa artstyle is so beautiful I genuinely teared up when I saw the leads the first time.
No to all of those, been there done that psht. That's just every day life for me
No the problem is that I know for a fact that the manhwa will not be enough for me and that I'll start the novel. The problem is this:
And before you say "Oh but Mura but you read TCF" I KNOW I DO I'M INSANE ENOUGH AS IT IS HAVE YOU NOT NOTICED WHY DO YOU THINK I HAVEN'T STARTED LOTM!?!?!
Basically someone get this gorgeous manhwa/novel away from me before I slip up and do something I will 100% not regret but my academic life certainly will!

God dreams of human dreams
Although its principles and structure remain a mystery, one truth had become clear through experience
It was someone else's dream.
Once, a vast sea stretched out before me. Neither the scorching sun nor the blinding sandstorm exists.
The scenery was hazy for reality and I instantly understood it was a dream.
???: .....sniff....hic....
Amidst the sound of waves washed the sand, I heard a quiet sobs of a child. Following the trail of footprints, I found a boy sitting by the shore, hugging his knees to his chest.
His misty pale-indigo hair fluttered in the sea breeze was distinctive and his fine appearance clearly shows that he is from good background.
Azel: What's troubling you?
Upon hearing my voice, the boy jolted up. He wiped his tears roughly and glaring at me, the stranger who shouldn't exist in his dream.
???: Who the hell are you?
Azel: I am a god.
???: Hah...?
Azel: The god of dreams
???: .....Are gods real?
Azel: Yeah and your crying led me here
???: I'm not crying!
Azel: That was rude of me. My apologies.
Azel: May I ask your name?
???: .....Silvio
Azel: Silvio.....That's such a beautiful and lovely name
I crouched down to meet the eyes of the slightly short boy. His swollen eyes brimmed with suspicion
Silvio: What's with you?....Get outta my face
Azel: If anything troubling you, would you like to talk to me about it?
Azel: I'm a god. I assure you, I can solve whatever it may be.
Silvio: .....Really?
Azel: Yeah, it's true
Silvio: Really like.... REALLY??
Azel: God doesn't lie
Silvio: ......
Silvio: ................
Silvio: .......................I got a little brother
Azel: Ohh, so you are the older brother
Silvio: That jerk's a big crybaby. Always whinnin', annoyin' as hell. But everyone loves him
Silvio: I hate him.....I fuckin' hate him!
Azel: I see...
Silvio: But...If I ain't able to protect him, he's gonna die
Azel: That is...quiet complicated situation, it seems
Silvio: My mom hates his mom, just the other day she...she had poison......
Azel: Wha—
Silvio: And I...I ain't able do anythin'....
Silvio: I'm so damn weak...
Once again, tears spilled from those sea-blue eyes. He desperately tried to wipe them away but it wouldn't stop, falling one after another like heavy rainfall
Silvio: I'm supposed to protect him...but I ain't able do anything 'bout it
Silvio: I hate myself more than I hate that coward of crybaby
Azel: .....You're a good brother
I gently placed my hand on his misty pale-indigo hair and stroke it. His tears keep falling, trailing his cheeks like waterfall
Silvio: I ain't good. Told ya I'm damn weak
Azel: No person in this world is weak or powerless
Azel: Silvio.....I believe that you are the one who can decide who you want to be
Silvio: I.....decide myself?
Azel: Yeah. If you believe of yourself as powerless and weak, you will be powerless and weak
Azel: But, if you believe you are capable of anything, then you will be the one
Silvio: That's impossible
Azel: Nothing impossible because people living each day, chasing the ideal version of themselves
Azel: If you don’t believe me, close your eyes and try imagining it
Though clearly unconvinced, the boy allowed me to gently cover his eyes.
Azel: What kind of person do you want to be?
Silvio: .....Strong one that can protect my little brother
Azel: What does being strong mean to you?
Silvio: Dunno.....good 'round sword...?
Azel: That is one way to be strong, but swords might not stop poison
Silvio: .....Then, I'm gonna watch him all the time, guard him safe.
Azel: That is good idea but doing it alone will be difficult
Silvio: Then.....I'm gonna hire a buncha men
Azel: And to hire them, what do you need?
Silvio: .....Money?
Azel: Indeed, money is needed to pay them. So, how can you earn that money?
Silvio: My pocket money.....hm that ain't enough to hire 'em...so...
Silvio: .....I'm gonna earn it thru trade like a Benitoite man
Azel: That's great idea, isn't it? Start a trade business, earn a lot of money, hire people and protect your little brother.
Azel: That would certainly make you a strong and capable one
Silvio: ...Think I can pull that off?
Azel: Why do you think you can't?
Azel: As I said earlier, if people believe in themselves and think "I can do it", then they are capable of doing anything
Silvio: ........
As the boy furrowed his brow in doubt, I smiled gently and quietly closed my eyes together with him.
Azel: Silvio, you are on a ship right now...
Azel: —As a merchant that about to travel to vast sea
Azel: You will explore unknown lands, meet people from faraway places, discover treasures that nobody ever seen...then, you become rich
Azel: Now.....open your eyes
Silvio: What da......
The moment we both opened our eyes, we were standing on the deck of ship sailing through the sea. Being guided by the sea breeze, the boy ran across the deck and stood at the bow
Silvio: Da hell...This is amazin'!
Azel: You imagined your future clearly so the dream changed.
Azel: This is the potential you have within you
Silvio: Within...me......
Azel: Depending on your future efforts, this dream will likely become a reality.
Azel: Since I'm god of dreams, my prophecies will come out to be true
Silvio: You are REALLY the one
Azel: I'm honored you believe me
The sobbing boy faded like a mist and the left is only a young merchant chasing his dreams
Silvio: I've made up my mind. Gonna be a merchant one day.
Silvio: Not the small one. I'll go out sailing all 'round the contintent, earn money and become the great one!
Azel: That's wonderful. I believe you can become one
Silvio: If I ever go on a voyage, wanna tag along? You seem hella smart
Silvio: I'll even let ya be my sidekick
Azel: Hehe, what an honor. Thank you for inviting me.
Azel: .....But, I don't have a future as free as yours
Silvio: Why's that?
Azel: Because I'm a god
The boy turned to look at me and I forced a faint smile. However, he seemed to sense something behind the smile. After a brief pause, as if lost in thought, he pointed toward the vast sea.
Silvio: Then, I'll take you outta here by myself
Azel: You will?
Silvio: Dunno how but you listened to me well, ain't ya?
Silvio: So, it's my turn to help
Silvio: I'm gonna earn a lotta money, get strong and be the one who can do anythin'
Silvio: Then, I'mma payback you nicely
Azel: That is.....
I faltered for a moment, then smiled softly at the boy whose clear, unwavering eyes met mine.
Azel: Yes, I'll be waiting
Silvio: Here ya go, god bastard. That's your extra pay for the sea current stuff from the other day.
As the large amount of gold coins in leather pouch was placed on the table, the mystical eyes of Tanzanite's living god gleamed with the greed of mortal.
Azel: As expected of Prince Silvio! Thank you for your generous offering
Azel: Allow me to express my gratitude with full prostration—
Silvio: Cut that out, will ya? Don't you dare to do that
Azel: Well then, I will keep it to just the sentiment
Silvio: .....Yer bad jokes are hard as hell to read
Silvio took a seat while letting out an exasperated sigh. In an instant the living god personally prepared the tea and placed it at Silvio's side.
Silvio: Playin' servant again?
Azel: Only for you, Prince Silvio. I'm selective about who I choose to butter up because—
Silvio: Don't fuckin' say it so boldly!
Azel: That was rude of me
The god also took a seat across from Silvio, radiating a divine aura and smiled gently.
Azel: Might I be granted another story today?
Silvio: Hah. Since you're so eager...
Azel: I wish to hear every word you say, without missing a single one, Prince Silvio
Silvio: Then, you can sniffin' the fuck outta next money-makin' shot
Azel: Yes, indeed
Silvio: So don't fuckin' say it sooo boldly
Azel: But, that's not the only reason
Silvio: Ha?
Azel: I always looking forward to it..
Azel: —The adventure story of you, the greatest merchant on the continent
